Presentation Description

We will see a Long Short-Term Memory ( LSTM ) network implementation in univariate and multivariate time series stock prediction. Results are promising on the multivariate case in different market regimes, quants should incorporate deep learning and other machine learning techniques in their toolbox. We will discuss also more, in general, the use of deep learning in finance.
